“That's what liberty is,I thought.To have a passion,to amass pieces of gold and suddenly to conquer one's passion and throw the treasure to the four winds. Free yourself from one passion to be dominated by another and nobler one. But is not that, too,another form os slavery?To sacrifice oneself to an ideea,to a race,to God? Or does it mean that the higher the model the longer the thether of our slavery? Then we can enjoy ourselves and frolic in a more spacious arena and die without having come to the end of the thether.Is that,then,what we call liberty?”
